LG G3 Vigor - slow/unusable since Lollipop upgrade

I've had the Vigor since February - it shipped with KitKat installed, and it ran fine. Shortly after I got it, it received an OTA upgrade to Android 5, and since that time the phone is so slow as to be unusable. Some apps (inlcuding basic fucntionality like phone call and text message) can take 20-30 seconds or more to come up. There have been times where I missed a phone call because the device did not respond to my attempt to answer it in time. Sometimes apps do come up faster, but overall performance is substantially worse than it was before the upgrade - and even worse than the Galaxy S3 it replaced.
I am a fairly savvy android user - I have tried multiple things to impreove performance. I have reimaged the phone multiple times, cleared cache, tried running the phone with just the "factory" apps - nothing helps. I'm now trying multiple things to try and keep memory usage down and boost performance, but again - nothing I've tried has helped. I have the phone for work, but it is officially reaching the point where I can't rely on it to work if I need it. Is it possible the phone itself is defective?

Hello there 
I’m sorry you are experiencing phone issues after updating to Lollipop; I would be happy to assist you.
You stated that you have tried many troubleshooting steps. You said you cleared cache, but did you clear all cached data?
To wipe all app cache, follow these steps:
From the home screen, tap Apps.
Tap Settings.
Select the General tab.
Tap Storage.
Wait for menu options to finish calculating.
Tap Cached data, and then tap OK.
Have you downloaded the LG Support Tool? The Support Tool allows you to create a backup and also download firmware updates. To download the free software click here.
Thank you,

  • Proximity sensor off since Lollipop upgrade

    This has been causing all sorts of issues when I'm on a call.  I did the test thing - *#*#7378423#*#* > Service Tests > Proximity Switch - and it shows as 'off''.  It was fine until the Lollipop upgrade....  
    How do I turn it back on again???
    thanks,
    D
    Solved!

    Hi tallon,
    Welcome to the community,
    When you make a call does the screen stay on? or does it turn black when the top half is covered?

  • Very slow BB since modem upgrade

    Hi
    I've recently went through with the modem upgrade provided by Kelly Comms. Seemed ok at first but now my connection is pretty much unusable upstairs.
    Download speed is 1.6MBs upstairs but much better close to the modem (understandably).
    Any options? Powerline? How much to get a cable professionally done ?
    Can BT do anything? this is useless
    Robert

    Yeah, wireless
    So the only options are powerline adapter, cable (unlikely option) really. Wonder why it has reduced as much though.
    Do wireless repeaters help?

  • Slow broadband since line upgraded

    My boradband speed seems to have slowed. For example I can no longer use BBC iPlayer on my Smart TV or PVR. It may be an amazing coincidence, but it seems the speed went slower at around the time BT sent me an email telling me that they had upgraded my line (13th December 2011). The email said to give it a 10 days to settle, but after 2 months it does not seem to have improved.
    BT Speed test say I am getting 1.7Mbps out of 2.3Mbps but it feels slower. uSwitch are showing me as the slowest boradband connection of any house in my street at 1.4Mbps download / 0.3 upload. My Neighbours are apparently getting 2Mbps to 3.1Mbps via BT (and over 5Mbps from other suppliers).
    Here are the details from my BT broadband router in case they help...

    Thanks for speedy replies. Your assistance is appreciated and have followed the links and read the advice as best I could.
    I plugged laptop directly into home hub (with Cat5) and did speed test and got the results below. This seems slower than I would have expected, but would value other peoples judgement.
    1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
    Download  Speed
    1.51 Mbps
    0 Kbps
    2 Mbps Max Achievable Speed
     Download speed achieved during the test was - 1.51 Mbps  For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 800 Kbps-2 Mbps.  IP Profile for your line is - 1.52 Mbps

    We were unable to identify any performance problem with your service at this time. It is possible that any problem you are currently, or had previously experienced may have been caused by traffic congestion on the Internet or by the server you were accessing responding slowly. If you continue to encounter a problem with a specific server, please contact the administrator of that server in the first instance.
    Then I did a “quite line test” and heard only the faintest hints of noise.
    Then I plugged home hub into the master socket, and did repeat “quite line test” and again heard very similar low levels of noise. Then I got the ADSL info from hub again, with following results:
    ADSL line status
    Connection information
    Line state

    Even I can spot that this is different. Although I am not 100% sure what all the differences means, the Noise Margin is now better (6dB+). If understand what I have read this is good/OK. Given this I repeated the speed test (an hour after first one), with following results:
    1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
    Download  Speed
    1.76 Mbps
    0 Kbps
    2 Mbps Max Achievable Speed
     Download speed achieved during the test was - 1.76 Mbps  For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 800 Kbps-2 Mbps.  IP Profile for your line is - 1.78 Mbps
    2. Upstream Test: -provides background information.
    Upload Speed
    286 Kbps
    0 Kbps
    832 Kbps Max Achievable Speed
    Upload speed achieved during the test was - 286Kbps  Additional Information:  Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 832 Kbps
    We were unable to identify any performance problem with your service at this time. It is possible that any problem you are currently, or had previously experienced may have been caused by traffic congestion on the Internet or by the server you were accessing responding slowly.
    If you continue to encounter a problem with a specific server, please contact the administrator of that server in the first instance.
    I then carried on with some sort of QoS testing it offered and got the following:
    1. Assured Rate Test: -provides background information.
    Download Speed
    1.85 Mbps
    0 Kbps
    0 Kbps Max Achievable Speed
     Download speed achieved during the test was - 1.85 Mbps  For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0 Kbps-0 Kbps .  Additional Information:  Assured Rate IP profile on your line is - 0 Kbps
    We were unable to identify any performance problem with your service at this time.
    Given the above, it looks to me that some part of the problem is the internal phone wiring / noise beyond the master socket. Is that how others read this?
    I also think that even going to the master socket I am still getting relatively slow download speeds compared to neighbour on the same exchange – and so that needs investigating too.
    Cheers,

  • Home internet slow/ unusable since downloading OS X maverick

    I uploaded OS X maverick last night to my MacBook Air 2011. Since then when the Mac is connected the internet slows down for everyone in the house- down to 0-2 kbps- then speeds up as soon as I turn it on again- up to 12-14 kbps. Turning Bluetooth on and off makes no difference.
    I have a time machine and a telus router- it has worked ok until last night. Everything has been rebooted but no luck. Any thoughts?
    FYI- I am a real simpleton when it comes to computers!!!

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • SLOW iChat since Safari upgrade...

    While I've seen posts alluding to this, I've yet to see any answers as to WHY it might be happening.
    Since updating to Safari 3 Beta sending messages on iChat (3.1.8) takes a while to actually appear in the message window. This is happening on both my MacBook and my G4, both running 10.4.9
    Is this happening to anyone else? Any suggestions in getting around it? Finding it QUITE annoying!
    thanks everybody!

    You probably have Chax running with iChat. Go into iChat's Preferences, then under the Chax icon, in the Chats section disable “Automatically accept text invitations.” That did the trick for me.

    Thanks for all the replies.
    I've now installed the ad blocker, thrown away the unwanted files, and thrown away a copy of Firefox that Adware said had a problematic extension.
    Things are better, but still slow.
    Activity Monitor shows that with just Mail, Chrome and Excel running, 2.9GB of my 4GB RAM is used. Opening InDesign (always slow) increase that to 3.2GB. But the graph stays green.
    Console shows several potential problems but I don't know if any are significant. In any case I will call my Mac store tomorrow to ask their advice about RAM.

  • Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

    Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

    Then your basic issues are: too little RAM, incompatible software, dysfunctional installation.
    Add more RAM or kill as many programs that you use until the computer is running normally.
    See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps. Upgrade any old software.
    Reinstall OS X:
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

    Hi folks,
    my mac book pro is booting up very slow and running slow as well since I upgraded to Mavericks.

  • TS3795 Ever since I Upgraded to Maverick my MAC has been very slow which is very annoying.  Right now I am not home. So is there a number I can call so someone can help me with this issue?

    Is there a telephone number I can call after 7:00 p.m.?  I'm not at home and I need to call Support to help me speed up my MAC.  Ever since I upgraded to the Maverick my computer has been very slow and it's very annoying.

  • My text notification light no longer works now since the Lollipop upgrade.  How do I get it back since i use my phone in silent mode most of the time?

        We want you to love your software update pitbullmommy71! When did you update your phone? Have you tried going into phone settings and set up your notifications as you would like them? It can take a few days for your phone to normalize after the update, but this may be a bit much. Some apps may no longer be compatible with the new software so you can try running phone in Safe Mode or do a Hard Reset to see if this improves your phone. I've seen where some have completed a Hard Reset after the update and downloaded all same apps, and phone works flawlessly now. However, if you'd like to try Safe Mode first, (which is where all 3rd party apps are disabled), you can certainly try this for 24 hours to see if improves.

  • Why is my iphone 3g slower since software upgrade...

    I know other people who have complained about the same thing that the 3g is slower since the software upgrade a few months back. Why? Everything on the phone is a tad slower since the upgrade. Weren't upgrades designed to improve the performance, not decrease it?

    are you up to date with the siftware?
    do you have a lot of memory left?
    have you tried a hard reset? a reset network settings? a restore?
    all can be done to try to resolve the issue, try those first before giving up

  • Since we upgraded to OSX Maverick our printer is printing very slow.  Anyone know what I should do?

    Since we upgraded to OSX Maverick our printer is running slow.  We have reinstalled the printer.  We have an Epson Stylus NX420 printer.  It makes copies fine it is just when we try to print something that we have a problem.

    What part of the printing process is slow? Does it take a long time for the print dialog to appear after select File > Print, or does it take a long time after pressing the Print button for the job to start printing?
    Since you mention upgrading to Mavericks, some users have found that a reset of the printing system resolves their printing issues. Note that this action will remove all devices from the Printers & Scanners preference pane. So you will need to add the printer or scanner again after performing the reset.

  • Since the upgrade to 4.0.1, both of my mac osx computers get multiple popups, despite being enable, and slow tracking and frequent freezing

    Since the upgrade to 4.0.1, both of my mac osx computers get multiple popups and popunders, despite the block popups being enabled, as well as slow tracking(at regular card game sites, and frequent freezing of open windows.

    Honestly I would never run both Win 7 & XP at the same time in a VM. 7 needs at least 4GB to run properly and uses more resources then XP.
    I personally use VMware Fusion and XP. At this time there is no software, that I'm aware of or use, that does not run on XP. So for my Mac Win VM purpose I only run XP with the software in need to use in Windows. This work very well for me. I have 2 CPUs and 3GBs of RAM assigned to XP. Leaving the other 2 CPU cores, 4 HT cores, and 5GBs of RAM for OS X.
    Not sure why you need, or want, to run both versions of Windows at the same time. I don't see the need as stated above.
